The 42 best spas in Galway

Had the most wonderful and relaxing time here. Highly recommend. Easy walk to the Dublin bus as well as some wonderful weekend markets. Will definitely be coming back! We also managed to catch a free Pilates class and enjoy the outdoor hot tub. Don’t miss the breakfast. Loved the local cheeses

Best things about the hotel were the staff, the location and the cleanliness. The two things we wish were better were the tv options - after a long day of exploring and walking it would have been lovely to relax and watch something but the offerings were extremely limited. Our trip was a mother daughter getaway and my daughter was excited about a relaxing bath as a little indulgence but there was no hot water for a bath or showers. Lukewarm to warm at best and during showers the water cut to cold a few times. I actually boiled the kettle in the room a bunch of times trying to warm up the bath water but it was a losing battle. The front desk staff were wonderful and the two people working at the front desk at the leisure center were also very kind and welcoming. We would go probably back but we would adjust our expectations.

Really good service. Several times during our stay we had service that was above and beyond. The hotel restaurant has good food and very friendly staff. The rooms were clean and the location was great for walking around Galway and driving around the wild atlantic way

Doesn’t really get the little things right. While my bed was a super king, it was rock hard and I had two of the worst pillows I’ve ever used, making for a horrible night sleep. The margarita I ordered at the bar was so bad I actually had to send it back. The indoor jacuzzi was freezing so we had to use the outdoor one, and the button is on a wall outside of the jacuzzi and doesn’t always work because of the timer. Overall the staff seemed nice and they put a lot of effort into the Christmas decorations, but the essentials were not good. Especially for a hotel of this price.

We had a lovely river view from our comfortable room. Location was perfect for us as we love to be able to walk to interesting neighbourhoods, parks, seawalls, entertainment and dining. Breakfast was delicious and the dining room was bright and roomy. Staff were excellent. Stylish decor throughout. Good selection of beer on tap. Convenient parking.

If Galway during Race Week is electric, then The Galmont is the generator powering the buzz. From the moment we pulled up, it was clear—this place knows how to host during the Galway Races. The staff were calm, collected, and somehow still smiling despite the crowd and the chaos. Hats off (literally—fancy ones everywhere) to the front desk team for the smoothest check-in I’ve ever had during a fully-booked hotel stay. Our room was spotless, spacious, and surprisingly quiet given the festivities. Big bonus points for the blackout curtains and comfy bed after a long day at Ballybrit followed by an even longer night in Eyre Square. The real winners though? • Breakfast: Top-tier. The kind of buffet that makes you rethink your plans for the races. • Bar area: Packed, stylish, and humming with post-race chatter. Great Guinness pour and even better people-watching. • Spa: Didn’t get to try it, but judging by the robes on parade, it’s clearly a fan favorite. Location-wise, you can’t beat it—easy walk to town, quick hop in a taxi to the racecourse, and just far enough from the madness to let you recover in peace. Pro tip: Book early for next year, and bring your best shoes—you’ll be walking, dancing, or both.

We booked a room with a king size bed with breakfast included, along with two spa treatments. The room itself is very small and cramped. It is appointed appropriately for a four star, but cramped. The bathroom however, is definitely not up to a four star level. Even 3 stars may be generous. It was an extremely long walk using 2 different elevators. I suspect we are in an old wing of the property. But the property doesn't appear to booked full tonight so not sure why the room we were given.

I was really shocked and disappointed at the condition of the hotel for the price that it cost. I have never been to a 5 star hotel (or even a 4 stay hotel) that felt so outdated and cheap. The bedding was low quality, neither the furniture nor room were comfortable at all. The pillows look nice but they become flat in an instant. The tables and chairs in the lounge and bar were never wiped down (every day same experience) and there was only one server for the entire room, running to service bar and kitchen etc. which made it incredibly slow to receive service (not their fault). The quality of the food for the price was not to standard. I understand construction needs to happen but beginning with hammers and drilling at 8am is unreasonable in my opinion. The location feels cheap with parking in a shopping center, and the spa is incredibly expensive, not included at all, and not open in the evenings. I was happy to pay for the pass to experience the relaxation room without a full treatment, but was given some pressure that it would only be guaranteed if I paid for an overpriced massage also. How can you offer spa passes (advertised on the room TV all day long) but then say it’s not guaranteed even if you want to buy one? I really tried to like my stay as I spent a lot of money and was trying to treat myself; but I honestly regret this choice. The staff were friendly but this didn’t make up for my overall experience at all. I recommend to anyone that you save your money and go somewhere else.

We really enjoyed staying at the G Hotel. It was a bit further from the center of town than we would have hoped but it was easy to get a cab and it is walkable if you are so inclined. The hotel, itself, was lovely and the staff was very accommodating and pleasant. We felt cozy and cared for and loved all the different areas where one could relax or spend time. The bar was fun and interesting and good for people-watching and the staff in the restaurant was fantastic. We also really enjoyed the daily breakfasts and found they were the best we had on our trip around Ireland. We also slept the best there - the blackout curtains were awesome and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay at the G Hotel again. We really enjoyed our time there.

Myself and my girlfriend loved our overnight stay. We stayed in the summer of ‘24. You guys always do your best and we appreciate every little detail. We both come from years of hospitality work and notice all the effort yous guys do. Ahmed at breakfast was so busy and still looked after us with an exceptional attitude and got us our meals and coffees on time with no delay. I can’t remember the bartenders name, but he made me a whiskey sour that was amazing. He’s very knowledgeable in his craft and very charismatic to guests. Thank you again for our stay and we will be looking forward to coming back next year.

We had booked a Superior King Room and as it was my partners birthday they were able to upgrade us to a Junior Suite and left us some goodies in the room as an acknowledgement for my partners birthday. Everything was very personal, a handwritten card, sweets left in this delectable golden box, original Tayto crisps left on the bed. It was such a beautiful touch and my partner was blown away with how stunning the room was. Overall an amazing getaway for us who live 2.5 hours away, only shame is we couldn't stay longer.

Review from an October 2025 stay for a few nights. Great staff that checked us in, (Lucia) and the room was spacious and comfortable. We had a nice view of the lake. Welcome glass of champagne and free parking in the rear lot. We enjoyed the restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Compliments to the chefs. Also enjoyed the thermal spa. All in all a great visit in a nicely designed and renovated hotel. Oh yeah, forgot the piano bar which was also very pleasant!

My boyfriend proposed to me in Galway and let the hotel know he was going to ahead of time, they kept the secret and they upgraded our room! The room was absolutely beautiful! The G hotel was great! The staff were so lovely, Jeff was so incredibly friendly! The hotel is beautiful and I'd definitely recommend staying

Amazing hotel, Amazing staff. Stayed in the suite room with a view. Worth every penny. Two downsides were the pillows are terrible as previous reviews said and the restaurant was some of the worse food. Steak with no seasoning and not cooked to request. Fries were like frozen chips given to a child and pepper sauce which tasted like nothing unfortunately.

Booked a family stay for my sons birthday here recently with our dog. The reception staff were great. This is a real "dog friendly" hotel. A doggie welcome pack was in our room, a nice touch. Had dinner in the bar. Ordered a very rare steak, it arrived medium to well done. Asked for vinegar for chips 4 times before it arrived. At this stage my family were nearly finished dinner. I asked for mustard twice but nobody ever came back. The staff seemed to be running around aimlessly with no particular staff assigned to particular tables. Not a great experience. We booked dinner in a local restaurant for our second night.The room was just OK and the bathroom could have been cleaner. In general the hotel has a "tired" feeling for 4 star. We shall try somewhere else next time.

This Hotel is absolutely amazing, from the rooms to the staff, to the wonderful food. We booked a pet family family room. It was huge, spotless, quiet and warm. The staff are so lovely, an extra mention for Jules who was so so helpful, kind and considerate. She is very thoughtful and goes out of her way to make sure you are happy. We booked the Halloween package, my son received a little Halloween bucket filled with treats and our dog received his own treats. My mother was with us and she is gluten free, this was not a problem and the hotel made beautiful and tasty gluten free food. All the food is fabulous, the breakfast has plenty of choice and the hot food is cooked to order. A treat of an Ice-cream was included in our package and the lovely Alister also gave my mum and I an Ice-cream. These little things make a big difference. Another lovely staff member on reception when checking in, got an a device for us and he came and attached it to our tv so my son could watch netlix. The hotel is a 5 minute walk down to a small beach and water, it is very central in the town of Barna. Parking is included and the rooms are extremely quiet. I couldn't fault anything about this Hotel. We had a wonderful stay.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. The staff are flawless and so helpful. I am a tour manager and had an issue with a bag from a previous hotel and posted to this hotel to store it. Anything I needed or the group needed it was never a problem! They went above and beyond to make sure people's needs were met! It is dog friendly , and even has a dog menu! Truly a wonderful place! The rooms were lovely, spacious and clean! The bar and breakfast service was top notch ! Thank you for making the guests trip memorable!

My wife and I got married here on Halloween. Our every request was listened to and meticulously followed. The facilities are intimate, the food was out-of-this-world (no pun intended) and the rooms/facilities are perfectly beautiful. Fergal was also an exceptional host and all the staff deserve the highest compliments. Thank you all for making our spooky special day, that much more Halloween-tastic!🎃💜🖤👻

Not many times in my long travel career have I come across a hotel that is synergistic in every single way. Led by Patrick, the front desk by Laura , Andrea and Isabela this hotel goes above and beyond any I’ve been in for a long long time.. It truly goes back to a time when you felt a hotel cared. My example on this is my wife was on the highway in a rental and the entire rental stopped working, she had signs on her dashboard that the brakes will stop you will not be able to steer. You have an emissions problem. Laura stepped in like a pro and save the day. She got a tow truck outside of Alamo and headed towed to his yard. She did not have to do this, but she did because she cared about a guest.. Patrick, Tom, Owen and Andrea were there the whole time super supervising and Giving her validation and support. That’s just one example of what this hotel is all about the food and bar are fantastic. The conversation in those places is fantastic. The rooms are beautiful and well kept up. I will never forget what they did and it should be noted at the hotel is in the sweetest little Irish village ever please visit

This hotel was an absolute dream! The sizes of the rooms were amazing, and the bed - I could have stayed there all day! The hotel staff couldn't have been nicer when we arrived late in the evening and were hungry - they headed straight to the restaurant to make sure they left the kitchen open so we could get some food! That impressed me right there! But then the food in the restaurant itself was also delicious for dinner and then breakfast the following morning! Great hotel and definitely recommend if wanting to visit Galway!

The hotel itself is good, with friendly helpful staff at reception. However I'd recommend avoiding The Pins bar attached to the hotel. We had a very poor experience with service there which frankly put a sour note on the whole stay. Having arrived back at the hotel around 10/10:30pm after a long day driving around the area, we went into the bar for one of there well advertised cocktails, but was told quite rudely that "cocktails are done", even though everyone else in the bar had full cocktails in front of them. Bit ridiculous for a "cocktail bar" to stop serving cocktails by 10:30pm on a bank holiday Saturday. The whole experience made us feel like 2nd class people and very unwelcome. For such a pricy hotel, I'd have expected much better service. Won't be staying here again.

Amazing experience using the flotation tanks! The 2 staff that were working that day were super nice and friendly and explained everything to us really well. The rooms were so clean and well equipped with everything you need for your visit. 100% would recommend to a friend.

Visited to try the sensory deprivation tank, and was Very impressed by the entire set up. Welcoming. Extremely Clean. Relaxed. An oasis of calm in the middle of an industrial estate. Post float relaxation room to further unwind with CBD teas and yoga maps, etc.

Had an amazing experience here, in what feels like a little private spa. I wasn't sure if I'd stay in the pod for the whole hour but by the end of it I didn't want to get out. Benny was a great host, giving me a tour of the place beforehand. Looking forward to going back and trying out the cryo chamber and saunas.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a float session at Full Circle Wellness. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and relaxation. Ambiance and Atmosphere (5/5): A warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The staff greets you with genuine smiles. Cleanliness and Hygiene (5/5): Impeccable. The floatation tank, shower area, and all facilities are spotless. Floatation Tank Experience (5/5): The float itself is a sanctuary of peace and serenity. I was provided with a thorough briefing on what to expect. The Epsom salt-infused water was kept at the perfect temperature, and the tank was equipped with a neck pillow support and soft lighting which you could turn on/off during the float. Deeply meditative experience. Overall Experience (5/5): Recommend highly!!!

My boyfriend and I did a float tank therapy and then spent some time in the chill out area with a cup of tea at Apollo. Really good experience. It was amazing and totally relaxing. Total rest and peace for an hour away from all disturbances is wonderful. The staff was absolutely great and very friendly. Great experience from start to finish! I would highly recommend!!!

I had the pleasure of attending an absolutely fantastic day from start to finish. Jason embodied everything you'd want in an instructor - incredibly patient and passionately guiding the experience at just the right pace. I gained a wealth of knowledge, and the facilities were nothing short of brilliant. The cherry on top was the soothing sauna session following the invigorating ice bath. I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to kickstart their journey into mindful breathing.

Fantastic expierence. Tried the sensory deprivation float tank for the first time. Got a very warm welcome from the receptionist, she showed me around and gave me essential hints. Floating went very well and after a 60min session, I felt fantastic and very relaxed. I took my time to recover in the waiting room after the float with a cup of complimentary tea. Honestly never felt so relaxed. I'll be back soon.

Good deep tissue massage. Expensive at €80 for one hour massage that ended up being 50mins 5 mins either side to change which I think is a bit rich when it's so expensive. Should be 1 hour massage for that price. Busy spot.

Today I had a massage for the first time in this place (in general, the first in years)I was very pleasantly surprised both during and after the massage.I will definitely be back soon

I was so surprised by this place. I came in with low expectations and was blown away. Incredible massage. I suffer from chronic pain and they were super sensitive to my needs. I liked it so much I went back the next day. Do yourself a favor and visit.

I had an incredible 1 hour massage from Ying today. She is a real magician and did amazing work on my neck and shoulder that have given me pain for a long time.

Absolute gem! I had a massage myself a few years ago and just got another for my partner's birthday. We both agreed that the ladies had a magic touch and took years off our tired, knotted backs. Easy recommendation!

100% recommend, I will definitely be going here again. Such good workers and very friendly staff.

I recently had a full body massage with Amy and it was incredible. I’m prone to stubborn knots in my upper back and neck but they were no match for her. She was so professional, pinpointed and explained which muscles and areas of my back that were tight and causing subsequent pain points and she was an absolute pleasure. Master at her craft, highly recommend.

We stayed for a couple days and enjoyed this hotel. Our room overlooked a shed, but was spacious. The shower had some issues but overall we were happy with the room. The hotel itself is fun and has little cubbies and hidden features. The theater is a fun and tucked away and they have it stocked with popcorn and fun movies (Casablanca happened to be playing when we popped in). The food was excellent. It is a little out of the way so you need a ride to Galway. Enjoyed it overall.

The hotel is beautiful and the service was very kind, but just a note for future guests: wedding receptions here can run late into the night (until 2 a.m.) if there’s one hosted the weekend you are staying. We had chosen this property expecting a quieter experience than a city-center hotel, so the late-night music was noticeable depending on where your room is located or what direction it faces. Otherwise, it was a very nice stay.

While aspects of the hotel are very charming, our room left much to be desired. Towels that were so old, they were unraveling, a plastic floor in the shower (no tile) and inexplicably, a small fridge with a glass door with a light inside that glowed all night (we were told that’s how you “knew it was working”). Maybe the grander rooms had plush towels and cabinets to enclose glowing fridges, but beware if you are staying in a “classic” room. Despite having paid 600 euros, I can’t say this is anywhere near five-star quality.

This is a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. Our rooms were amazing and the beds were comfortable. The only drawback with the rooms were the tub/shower combo. VERY difficult for someone as short as I am, with some mobility challenges. That tub is so high I had a hard time getting in and out! The meals were good, but it was surprising to see only 2 servers for a group of 25 people in the River room. I don't mind a leisurely dinner but more than 30 minutes just to get our drink order and over 2 hrs for the meal is a bit long.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. The hotel and grounds are so beautiful with endless wandering and exploring available. The staff here is extremely friendly, professional, and well presented. The breakfast wait can get a little bit long, so recommend getting there early.

Beautiful property just a quick taxi from Galway center. It’s on a golf course and has walking/bike paths and manicured lawns. The restaurants and cocktail bar are all great. Kind service staff. Book the falconry experience! The guide Jason is the best, and hanging out with the owls and falcons was such a fun and unique experience.

Glenlo Abbey was one of the best decisions we made for our trip to Ireland. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. The grounds were fantastic and the food and drinks available from the on property restaurant, cocktail lounge, and breakfast were beyond our expectations! We were only there for 3 nights but we fell in love with the property and the staff was helpful and so kind. I cannot recommend it enough and if we ever come back to Galway we will certainly be staying there again!

This is most definitely not a 4 star hotel. The pictures are a bit deceiving. It gives an impression of a luxury spa in the mountains. The location is breathtaking. The restaurant food smelled and looked good, and the bartenders were very nice. But it was outdated and smelled very weird. Our room did not have wash cloths and we never could get any sent to the room. It was very dingy and outdated. Mold all in the bathroom. Windows and doors unable to close. I really expected this place to be off the charts amazing. Even reading recent reviews, I’m not sure how anyone can rate this place very high. It was very disappointing.

The Delphi is absolutely beautiful, the staff are all such kind and friendly people who go above and beyond. We recently stayed for a mini moon directly after our wedding day and got to stay in a stunning room, which had beautiful views and was so peaceful. The spa staff were legends, Louise and Chris were wonderful and looked after us for the two days we were there. Couldn't recommend them enough and the lovely Spa it's self! We couldn't have asked for anything better and are really grateful for our time and experience there!

Great spa hotel. Not too expensive. A loads of activities beside it. Spacious parking. Fantastic restaurant. And no mobile network coverage. Loved every bit about this place. Will definitely be back.

I had a beautiful time at Delphi Resort. It’s such a calm and stunning place, surrounded by nature. The atmosphere is peaceful, the views are breathtaking, and it’s the perfect spot to relax and recharge. I would highly recommend Delphi Resort to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway.

My boyfriend and I booked this hotel during our stay in Ireland for a luxury stay and a a calm, disconnected spot. I will say the property is very beautiful and the food is great. The staff is very friendly as well. The rooms start off looking very pretty until you start to notice the large amount of spiders surrounding you. As someone with a decent fear of spiders, I will say this is not the hotel for you. Every corner of our room was covered in huge spiders. The first morning in the bathroom 3 huge spiders came out of no where walking along the floor which put me so on edge I couldn’t take my shoes off the rest of the stay. Our comforter had a stain on it as well that made me a little uneasy. They don’t reply quickly to emails for reservations. Overall, it’s a beautiful place but the price you’re paying doesn’t seem worth it.

Imagine waking up to the sound of silence... and a breathtaking view right outside your window. 🏔️✨ That’s how we began our days at Delphi Resort, a place that seems designed to slow down the world. The room? Comfortable, welcoming, and with an outdoor space to sit, take a deep breath, and admire the mountains. The reception area sets the tone: fragrant, organized, with a charming and quiet library that seems to embrace us. And the service? Impeccable. Each staff member was kinder and more attentive than the last. We passed by the spa overlooking the mountains, and between climbing and biking, we lost ourselves in the landscapes and found ourselves in the silence of nature. Oh, and what about the food? The typical Irish breakfast with a view... The elegant dinner, with dishes that are poetry on a plate—the salmon tartar was my favorite (and the burger also won my heart!). 🍽️💛 A place that goes far beyond just accommodation. It was an experience, a respite, and inspiration. Soon, the video we filmed there will be ready—and you’ll understand why we left with a clean soul. 📍@delphiresort , thank you so much! We already want to go back.

Last year (August 2024), I booked a night away for my wife and I. We were genuinely looking forward to the break. The hotel had received excellent reviews, and we were excited to experience it for ourselves. Unfortunately, on the morning of our departure, my wife required emergency medical treatment, and we spent the entire day at A&E in Galway. As soon as it became clear we could not travel, I contacted the hotel (well before check-in time) to explain the situation and ask if we could either reschedule or, if not possible, cancel the booking. To my surprise, the manager on duty responded with coldness and a complete lack of empathy. Rather than acknowledging the urgency of the situation, I was abruptly told, “No, you're too late. You can't change it. Goodbye.” I tried calling again to better explain but was met with the same reaction. It was as if she didn’t believe the story. There was no offer to explore alternatives, no sympathy, and no professional courtesy. While I fully understand the importance of cancellation policies to protect hotel revenue, I find it difficult to believe that the room could not have been resold, especially given it was peak tourist season. If the room did in fact go unused, that would be quite concerning for a hotel of this reputation. Interestingly, we also had a spa treatment booked. When I called the spa directly, the staff member was exceptionally courteous and accommodating. They quickly offered to refund the booking and reassigned our time slots without issue. This contrast in service between the spa and the hotel reception was stark. I chose not to leave a review at the time, as I generally prefer to move on from disappointing experiences. However, it's interesting how certain moments stay with you. This morning, something reminded me of that day. So, here I am. The unprofessional and unsympathetic response we received from the hotel’s reception team during a moment of real distress left a lasting impression. For that reason, we will not be returning or recommending this hotel in the future.

So pleased with this spa! This was the best massage I've had in Galway, and I've tried a lot of places over the last 8 years. The staff were incredibly professional and friendly. Lovely experience, thank you! Highly recommend.

Myself and best women had our bridal make up done at Piorra last week. All the staff were so friendly and professional from the start of organising our trials right through to the day itself. They paid great attention to detail and adapted to each of our styles. The make-up felt very natural and lasted all night. We were delighted with the outcome and got many compliments throughout the day. Thanks so much!

Great beauty salon on outskirts of Galway City. Lovely staff, parking outside. 2 thumbs up!! (Sarah was my therapist- excellent!)

2021 was the best skincare yet for me thanks to Áine and her great team. I now actually have a skincare routine and see it as my little bit of daily self-care. It all started back at the online facial we had with Áine a year ago. Thank you to all at Piorra.

The staff here are so sweet and accommodating. Have been here around 5 times and always leave happy.

The ladies here are so welcoming and made us feel so special thank you for a lovely day 💗

My favourite place to relax. Staff are fantastic and service is 100%

I stayed at the Connemara Coast Hotel for 3 nights from the 24th of August, and overall, it was a truly wonderful experience. The hotel is set in a beautiful location with stunning views, and our sea-view room was spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with spectacular scenery to enjoy while dining. We also had dinner in the restaurant one evening, which was excellent. Up until the last night, everything was perfect. Unfortunately, after finishing dinner, I experienced a situation that left me quite embarrassed. A waitress ran after me down the corridor and asked me to return to the restaurant to provide my card for payment. I explained that I had given my room number when arriving and that my package included dinner. She then consulted a booking list and said she would have to get the manager. The manager came and said they would need to phone reception to confirm. Although the issue was quickly resolved and an apology was given, the exchange happened publicly, in front of other diners, and felt unprofessional — especially for a four-star hotel. While this didn’t overshadow the entire stay, and I would still recommend the hotel for its location, comfort, and excellent food, I do feel this incident could have been handled in a more discreet and professional manner.

The hotel was very lovely. Some of the service staff were very friendly and helpful and others seemed irritated when you asked for help. The location itself is gorgeous right on the water and most rooms seem to have a water view. But it is at least 20 to 30 Euro taxi into Galway City. So great location if you want to get away on the coast. Not a great location if you want to be able to bebop in and out of the city.

Stayed for three nights on a family holiday. Room was spacious and spotless. Beds were lovely and comfortable. We enjoyed our time in the swimming pool and on the tennis courts. Had a lovely walk around the grounds, and the views were spectacular. Food was excellent from breakfast to dinner and the bar food was fantastic for lunch. Staff were so friendly and accommodating all over the hotel. Definitely hope to return in the future.

This hotel is located on the wild Atlantic way and views are breathtaking. Staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are clean and food is good. On the down side, the lobby and reception area is very cold making it difficult to enjoy that part of the hotel. Certain rooms are dated and in need of upgrade.

We loved everything about this hotel. We prefer a quiet place outside the city, and this is perfect! It’s both cozy, traditional and has some modern touches as well. Ask for a sea view and take time to walk along the water! Also, the sauna, pool, hot tub and steam room is a great option at the end of the day. We hope to be back!

Highly highly recommended! Date of stay / October 2025 As a returning guest to this hotel since 2019 I can only say if anything it has improved over the years as it has been refurbished throughout . With its spectacular peaceful setting with views of the Atlantic and well maintained gardens to its meticulously maintained interior this hotel is in a class of its own. My room (322) very cosy and warm , meticulously clean with every comfort provided from its most comfortable bed to the spectacular view . The staff across all genres (although many have come and gone in the years I have visited) are still extraordinarily efficient, friendly and helpful. The self service breakfast has again improved over the years with the layout of the self service and staff being very attentive especially with the large volumes of people. A shout out her for Ronait who is most efficient, pleasant and chatty. Her 7 years experience in dealing with customers really shows. A big thank you to the friendly and efficient Ann (as always) who accommodated me with a very keen single rate which otherwise I would have had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. When she was advised of the circumstances she was extremely helpful and understanding of the situation . It’s actions and service like this that makes me want to return time and time again. Only negative is that I have to go home!

Rooms were lovely, the place is lovely itself. A pool, sauna, gym. A bar with a restaurant. The restaurant dinner service was terrible. Me and my family waited a really long time to order the first meal, when we did we then asked for a second meal, and god I can't believe it took that long to just grill salmon. I wasn't even hungry anymore, but annoyed. We came at 20.15 and we only got ot desert at 21:40. Even though we ordered everything straight away. The waiters didn't even bother to come. Terrible service at a restaurant bur everything else was great. Thank you.

Amazing place for kids. My toddler had a wonderful day at the aquarium. Its not very far from the center. You can walk or take a bus to the location. It is located at such a beautiful place, just across the vast ocean 😍

Absolutely loved this experience ❤️ I could of spent all day here! The fish were very active, the staff were nice and welcoming. My little boy got frightened by the loud noise at the entrance and was crying and a staff member appeared with ear defenders and stickers and saved the day. We really enjoyed feeding times and the information. The tanks are immaculate ✨️ The octopus 🐙 was very entertaining i recommend spending sometime watching it show off I wish I had asked its name!!

Tickets are cheaper when purchased online beforehand. Staff was very helpful, and aquarium was super clean. Fish looked so happy, I wish there were some octopus or squid however.

a lovely experience! There were so many beautiful sea creatures to see-from colorful fish to fascinating marine life. The place is well-organized, clean, and perfect for both adults and kids. It’s really interesting and educational too. We enjoyed every moment and definitely recommend visiting if you’re in Galway! 🐠🌊🐙

Great for family kids were excited. Place could be upgraded but generally its interesting. Gift shop with very poor stock, possibly because of Sunday, but still not great. Big car park beside. Place to eat something beside i recommend supermacks about 300m away. There is in this building too but crowded and various quality

Huge ray/ shark/ flat fish tank! Highly recommend for parents of tiny humans! Our son was screaming and tired before we entered, he calmed right down watching the fishies, stayed in the stroller the whole time and was able to see so many aquatic animals from his level. Octopus tank was awesome, price was right, and the whole aquarium was a good size for little ones, not too overwhelming.

Galway’s Aquarium offers a pleasant and educational marine experience, making for a perfect family outing. While the collection features a respectable variety of species and animals, the true highlight of the visit is the series of talks and demonstrations offered by the passionate local experts on staff. Getting to see how different animals react to being fed and learning about their unique behaviors firsthand is a fantastic, engaging experience that captivates both children and adults alike, adding a memorable, interactive layer to the visit. From a practical standpoint, the aquarium is very accessible, offering the convenience of free on-site parking, which is a significant plus, though it’s worth noting that the spaces are limited. While it may not be the kind of vast attraction that requires a return visit the next day, it provides a thoroughly enjoyable and well-rounded experience.

I came to this place because I couldn’t find a rental accommodation. I have never regretted my decision—whether paying rent or paying Slieve Aughty Centre, for me it was the same. The difference is that here I found peace, serenity, and so much, so much, so much warmth, helpfulness, kindness, and a smile always ready to greet you in the morning. It’s a truly enchanting place that brings healing in many aspects of one’s life. There’s no point in writing too many words that wouldn’t do justice to this magical place! Visit Slieve Aughty Centre and enjoy your unique experience even with your four legged friends! Thank you immensely for your service and for creating such a magical place! 🙏

I lived there for the past three months as a volunteer and it was the best decision I’ve made in my life. This place is incredible if you love nature at its fullest you won’t be disappointed. The managers are caring with their employees and very professional. This place cured my anxiety. People complaining about this place are just grumpy because there is nothing to complain about. This business is not perfect but is not for certain, a place to avoid.

Beautiful area in the countryside. Worth the 25 minute drive for us. We have eaten here once and we're due a visit back. Everything was fresh, tasty, good quality and organic. Staff are friendly and natural.

What an amazing place. The people are so friendly and kind. Very welcoming. The horses are stunning, such graceful and patient animals. The eco farm looks amstinnging and the pig, sheep, goat and Alpacas are so cute. If you are looking for a place to ride and just relax this is definitely the place to come. They also have a great cafe for food and drinks after your ride. Everyone who was involve was amazing and a big thank you to you all. Lastly, Panache you are an absolutely amazing soul and deserve lots of treats. We will definitely be back on our next visit and every subsequent visit there after.

Absolutely brilliant place for workshops. I've been teaching dry stone here this summer and it has been very enjoyable. It's such a lovely spot. The Slieve Aughty Centre has so much to do for everyone. At the "Weekend In the Hills" you can take workshops in stone carving basket making, cleft gate making, sugán chair making, felting, drum making, archery bow making, silver jewelry, and wood turning. The food is delicious and the landscape is so beautiful there.

I spent 3 nights in Slieve Aughty and I had the most amazing time. I went out on Treks, did a couple of lessons and some yoga. The horses are really well cared for and the instruction and supervision was excellent. The food was also excellent. The menus are really well considered and the ingredients are seasonal, many from the organic garden. Overall the vibe is really lack back and all the staff are friendly, approachable, caring and so patient. I learned so much and it was a real tonic for the soul. Thank you. #glamping #gatewaytogalway #horseriding #sustainable

This is a really special place with great ambience, good food, and surrounded by nature. We rented the Poplar room for a yoga retreat and was very happy with whole experience.

Very mixed about this hotel. It’s a beautiful castle on the outside and the grounds are nice. It’s a short walk to the water. Our room was really nice- beautiful large room, very castle like, lovely green garden view, large bathroom with shower and bath and nice products- it’s a great room! There are also some nice areas to relax and the evening we were there, there was some nice entertainment at the bar. Downside is it’s a bit too dated in its approach and somehow feels like it’s set up to attract big tour groups - maybe we were the wrong crowd. The breakfast is very basic for the price of the hotel, with a strange buffet style in some round tables and then some options on the Menu. A few of the staff we encountered were friendly but felt like exchange students from France. The bar didn’t have 0 % beers despite this being v popular- it’s some how just hasn’t evolved with time. It’s 💯 not value for money and having spent a few nights in a few other hotels of similar price, it lacks the extra touches for the price - from amenities to high quality staff and service and food. It seems focused on tour groups and that works for them but I wouldn’t go again.

This is going to be a long one. This place is five stars, more like seven, do you want character? This has it do you want architecture has that too? Do you want a beautiful view check, can you walk to town?yes. Do you like Ivy? This place has lots of it. The inside, it’s old. There’s necks and scratches, it feels like the kind of place you’ll never wanna leave. Staff? Fantastic. The rooms, unbelievable. The bathrooms? As nice as they could possibly be. Fabulous rain showers. The food, absolutely five star, the food service? Add another five stars. The atmosphere? Had another five stars. We went on a tour of Scotland in Ireland and this by far was the finest place we stayed. I actually had to stop and ask some of the staff people how they liked working there, because if you could choose the most fabulous place to have a job, this would be it. Everybody there was like family. Check out my pictures.

Myself & 2 friends spent 3 nights in the Abbeyglen recently & had a most enjoyable experience. From minute we landed everything was perfect, from breakfast to history of house to a fabulous dinner. We got brilliant value for what we paid for our stay. Staff were very helpful staff at reception. restaurant & bar staff & cleaners. We will definitely be making this an annual trip

Wish we could have stayed longer. It was so charming, restful, and had everything we needed. Even though outside was sideways raining, it was perfectly cozy and welcoming inside! Note that it's very close to town,a short walk or drive, its right on Sky Road for easy access. The owner comes out at 630p and serves prosecco and gives an oral history of the place while a pianist plays. Really special.

What a fantastic experience staying here. Loved it. From the moment our tour van pulled up to their front door, Brian Hughes and staff made our visit extraordinary. The Castle/Hotel was magnificent. Dinner was excellent. Waitstaff and Brian made it a night to remember. We heard the history of the Castle and locale. Brian regaled us with a song on the piano. We celebrated the night. Brian is a showman. Thank you Abbeyglen for being a highlight of our trip to Ireland.

Our recent stay was simply superlative from the moment we arrived until our (somewhat wistful) departure. Every staff member was friendly, helpful and attentive; the castle, the grounds, the surroundings, the service, the bar, the food, the entertainment and our rooms far exceeded our already high expectations. It was a once-in-a-lifetime weekend that I’d love to repeat. Many thanks especially to Mr. Hughes for his warm hospitality.

We stayed in this fabulous hotel last weekend celebrating our 40th anniversary. We booked this last May and our experience from our first conversation with Olive to book our 5 rooms to our arrival at the hotel to meet Grainne on reception was without doubt first class. We were delighted to meet Brian and had a very informative talk at the fireside before our meal. Brian was an incredible host, a man of many talents, a photographer, waiter, pianist and singer. Dermott in the bar and restaurant and John the wonderful barman were a class act. Our dinner on both nights and breakfast were an experience not to be missed. Thank you Brian, Olive, Grainne, Dermott, John and all the others lovely staff we met over our stay. We look forward to be staying with you in the not so distant future. Padraic & Evelyn Kyne

**Unprofessional Staff: Customer Service Needs Improvement – Read Before Booking Here** I'm disappointed to leave this review, but the rudeness of two particular staff members, along with the poor hygiene of the room & other issues, has compelled me to highlight our stay at this hotel. As previous guests of this hotel, we decided to return a year after our previous stay, following the published renovations apart from the rooms you stay in, Read on. Unfortunately, it seems that the investment in training the reception staff (Willow) and the restaurant and beverage manager was overlooked. During our recent family stay, which cost us 380 euros for the night, we dined at the restaurant (Station Carriage). When we asked for the bill, the waitress inquired whether we had the hotel's dinner package. However, when we booked months ago directly with the hotel, I don’t recall being offered this package. The waitress checked and confirmed that we did not have it. I paid the 150-euro dinner bill and approached the front desk to speak directly with the receptionist and the hotel’s food and beverage manager. Unfortunately, I was met with arrogance and told that there was no such offer. When I questioned why the restaurant staff had been offering it, the manager shrugged and sarcastically replied that they run it when they feel like it. This response left me even more confused. Overall, this experience was disappointing, and the arrogance displayed by the management and reception staff needs to be addressed. We stay in hotels around the world and have never encountered issues like this before. Furthermore, I recommend shutting down and refurbishing the rooms to address hygiene concerns before someone gets sick, as our bathroom left us feeling the need to sanitize after use due to disgusting mold and bacteria growing in various places. Please see the attached traveller photos to understand the situation before booking a stay here. It was unacceptable! Additionally, as noted in other reviews, the bedrooms are hot and stuffy without air conditioning, leading to poor sleep. The pool and hot tub had several clear issues. First, it's puzzling why they expect everyone to wear their own branded swim caps to enter the pool. To make matters worse, they want to charge you for these caps, and the gym pool staff are quick to try to sell them to you for more euros! As for the hot tub, you only get six minutes of use at a time before they ask you to step out into the cold and wait six minutes before a green light indicates that you can go back in for another six minutes. This cycle continues, which is quite frustrating! Additionally, both my partner and I experienced itchy skin, along with a bleach-like smell and red, itchy eyes that prompted us to rush to the showers to rinse off. We did notice a few members using the facilities, but interestingly, none used the hot tub while we were there—perhaps they knew something we didn’t! Unfortunately, we won’t be returning to this hotel, and if you're seeking an unpleasant experience, then feel free to book here. However, if you want to enjoy your vacation without feeling ripped off by rude staff, we advise you to avoid this place like the plague and book elsewhere. In summary, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this venue boarded up in the coming months unless they start addressing these significant issues, as it won't last long otherwise!

Beautiful hotel, very clean, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere at the reception. The manager is fantastic and makes you feel truly at home. Unfortunately, our evening was spoiled by the bartender, whose rude and arrogant attitude stood in stark contrast to the rest of the staff. After waiting 20 minutes just to be acknowledged, we were met with a dismissive and unfriendly response. If you can’t smile, communicate, or treat guests with basic courtesy, perhaps hospitality isn’t the right field. It’s a real shame, because the hotel itself is wonderful and set in a stunning Location.

Our 3rd time staying in this hotel, and we had another lovely stay.the refurbished outside ,lobby bar and restaurant was done to a very high standard. Really added to our stay having somewhere to relax in the evening. The live music that was on both nights if our stay was really enjoyable. It was very chilled and relaxing not at all overpowering for the room and I think the choice of music was perfect to add to the hotel vibe. We really enjoyed breakfast with the mix of buffet and made to order. Staff were all very friendly.The rooms are very comfortable,classic and clean. The hotel is a stones throw from the town and then short drives from amazing beaches. A really great hotel all round.

Overall my stay was nice! When I arrived there was a computer issue that was causing issues for the staff, but they were still prompt, kind and helpful. Because the system was down, I was personally shown to my room (I appreciated the team’s ability to stay calm and organized during the system outage). The room was nice. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size! The breakfast served was great. There was a variety of options and the servers were kind and attentive. I would stay here again!

Centrally located in Clifton Town ideal jump off point for tourist's. Service here is excellent could not fault it. Room's adequate and Clean but a little small for the price. Also a bonus is the Swimming pool.

The staff were very friendly and efficient when I stayed there with my husband. We had bed and breakfast booked, but did not eat dinner in the restaurant. Breakfast was very disappointing - the bacon was dry like shoe leather and the tomato was just warm, but had not been cooked under the grill. Coffee was very bland and there was no option other than the rather nasty filter coffee - no espresso or cappuccino for example.

Very nice hotel. Food is outstanding. Had a lovely vegan meal. Vegetable soup, curry with wild rice and a chocolate dessert. The staff couldn’t not have been anymore helpful. James advised what I could have when I said I was vegan. He is excellent. Thank you 🙏

Monkey Business is fabulous. We have been there many times - either just ourselves with our own kids, or often for parties. Our middle guy just had a joint birthday this past weekend with a friend in his class and the kids as always had a fantastic time. I also love how they give bibs so you can easily spot the kids from your party! The kids have a fabulous time and are always safe .. gives us parents time to have a bit of a chat without having to keep an eye on them. We'll be back many times more.

Brought our two toddlers there for the first time and they loved it. Spacious, colourful and well laid out. It operates a booking system which is well organised and means it's not crowded. We'll be back.

This will be the last time I visit Monkey Business. I came with two young children, aged four and one. I was surprised to learn that I had to pay for my one-year-old, who is far too young to use most of the facilities beyond the ball pit area and the small soccer area. What made the experience worse was the attitude of the receptionist. When I questioned the policy, she compared it to paying for a child at the cinema, which is not accurate or appropriate. A one-year-old does not require a ticket at the cinema, nor have I encountered any other play centre that charges for a child so young. Even after I paid for my one-year-old, the receptionist’s attitude made me feel extremely unwelcome. They had an hour and a half in which they could have approached me to politely explain the policy, but instead, all I received were dirty looks. The issue is not the fee itself but the dismissive and unprofessional manner in which the situation was handled. Staff should be trained to show courtesy and hospitality, especially when dealing with families. Do better, Monkey Business.

Our little boy absolutely loves it here he is obsessed. His creche said he always talks about Monkey Business and how we should have shares in it at this stage lol. Great fun for kids and it's lovely to be able to sit and watch them while having a cup of tea/coffee. Very lucky to have this play centre so close by. Thanks

Great Indoor fun for kids bit outdated but plenty of fun...staff is extremely friendly and helpful, our son love that place, slides are the best and safe...higlhy recommended..

Lovely play area to bring your kids. My son always has so much fun and is exhausted afterwards. Parents can also get tea/coffee. Staff are very nice. Better than any indoor play area in Galway. Five stars easily.

We recently had our son’s 4th birthday party here and had a fantastic time. The children were busy playing the entire time and enjoyed every minute of it. The length of time is perfect for the age group. The staff were so accommodating and couldn’t have been more helpful on the day. We had a number of allergies and were given a different option for party food. This isn’t something we have found anywhere else to date. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back. Thank you for a great party!

The room was fine, a serviceable chain hotel that thinks a lot more of itself, but fine. The desk staff are lovely. The issue is the restaurant and bar. We had been travelling for more than 12 hours and had booked the hotel because it was supposed to have a decent restaurant. We stood waiting to be seated for ages with staff walking past us deliberately not looking at us. Time was running out to be able to order food so in the end we walked into the restaurant, I grabbed some menus off the side and asked someone (who seemed to be a senior waiter) where we could sit. He pointed at a table then walked away. While I sat down, my husband went to the bar. The senior waiter then appeared next to me and asked for our food order. I explained that we’d not even had a chance to look at the menu yet. He rolled his eyes and walked away. A lovely waitress took our orders. I ordered a “pea, sundried tomato and butternut orzo - with cream cheese, Parmesan crisps and basil oil”. When it came my dish was a canteen style tomato sauce on orzo with cherry tomatoes and bits of courgette mixed in, bits of sweaty Parmesan on top and some garlic bread. The only thing on the menu that matched the plate was the orzo, but even that was very overcooked. I was starving, but it was not only NOT what I’d ordered, it was also basically a bowl of canned spaghetti hoops that cost €20. It tasted incredibly bland and it bore absolutely no relation to what was on the menu, to what I ordered. If they didn’t have the ingredients, why keep it on the menu? Did they think no-one would notice? I called over what appeared to be the maitre d. He offered to bring me something else, but the kitchen was closing, I was tired and I honestly didn’t trust anything else the kitchen produced after that, so I asked for a bowl of chips and he comped the first dish. I felt he’s used to these conversations, that he has made the same speech many times. Having seen other reviews, I can see this is pretty normal service here. So much for our romantic meal. The breakfast btw, was almost as bad.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A Truly Special Family Weekend at Lough Rea Hotel” From the very first phone call with Mary, the reservations manager, our experience with the Lough Rea Hotel in Galway was nothing short of amazing. I contacted Mary back in May to organise a family weekend away for 19 of us, and she couldn’t have been more helpful. My daughter has a Border Collie (28kg), and although the hotel usually only accepts small dogs, Mary went out of her way to make sure he could come along — which meant the world to us. She helped arrange everything from the rooftop bar booking to our dinner reservation, and the whole night was just perfect. The rooftop bar had stunning views, and Jonathan, the barman, made me the nicest strawberry daiquiri I’ve ever had! At 7.30pm, we went down to the restaurant for dinner, expecting to be split up, but to our delight, they had prepared one beautifully laid-out long table for all 19 of us. It was a wonderful surprise! Even more special were the personalised menus with our family name (Glavin) printed on them — such a thoughtful touch. After dinner, we moved to the bar where Vinnie was playing music. He was absolutely brilliant — he had everyone, from ages 25 to 70, singing along and up dancing. The atmosphere was fantastic. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, the staff couldn’t do enough for us, and two days after we returned home, Mary even phoned to make sure everything went well — a lovely personal gesture you don’t often get. Although the Lough Ree Hotel is a four-star, I would give it five stars without hesitation. Every detail was perfect, and every staff member — especially Mary, Jonathan, and Vinnie — made it an unforgettable weekend for our family. Thank you to all the team at the Lough Rea Hotel for making our stay so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I had a wonderful 2-night stay at the Loughrea hotel. The room was spacious, spotless, and had a beautiful lake view. The staff were outstanding—especially Clayton the duty manager, who very attentive, he went out of his way to make our stay very pleasant. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options especially for coeliacs. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Came here with my friend for my 30 th birthday had added a bottle of champagne onto our room and we had to chase staff for it when we arrived. Staff then tried to give us prosseco even though we paid 120 euros for champagne. Anna at front desk was quite unhelpful . Half arsed check in by her also where we didn’t receive much info even though we also had a spa treatment booked. Room was nice and clean and spa was perfection the rest of the experience was a let down would not return and would also not recommend.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff and good food. About 1 km from a nice little town. Nice atmosphere in the bar with great bar food. Plenty of free parking. Had a lovely stay.

I was staying in this hotel for 4 nights and really enjoyed it. The rooms were cleaned on time, and I love the large bathtub. The food was also very good and the breakfast buffet was amazing. I will definitely be back and would recommend it.

Brilliant hotel with incredible service. I stayed at this hotel once a week for a year and in all 52 stays, I didn't have a single bad experience. I would absolutely stay here again if im working in the area. Thank you to Mary and all the lovely reception staff for having made this a great experience.

Excellent. In the top 10 cortados that I've had in my life.

Espresso 44 is one of the best coffee places in Galway..... With amazing and friendly staff. The spiced vanilla chai latte is the best and highly recommended if you are a chai lover.

My favourite coffee spot in town that does the nicest coffees , not to mention the staff here are so lovely and friendly !

I had the flat white and it was the worse coffee I had in a while. Also the way how this young woman handled the coffee equipment was very unhygienic. Just awful the whole experience.

Amazing staff and amazing coffee! I’m on holiday and was wandering around and thought why not!! I got a latte and a vitamin D shot and that were so good. The milk was frothed perfectly in my latte, best coffee so far.

Had a very good coffee to go from here. The oatmilk flat white was great. The cake selection also looked delicious!

Great coffee place in the town. Super friendly staffs, and they also have lovely bakery, especially recommend the gluten-free carrot cake.

Lovely shop. They have a video exhibition with the story of the ring and sell beautiful jewelry. The ladies working there are the sweetest and most patient. Loved my experience.

The place was more jewellers than museum, but here was an informative video playing that told the romantic story behind the Claddagh Ring.

Fantastic place. They give you so much information as well as a great movie to watch. till next time

got my first claddagh ring! It was so beautifuuul 😍💕 staff were very approachable and helpful thank you very much

I watched the film even though it was quiet I was able to grasp the story. There are a gazillion options to choose from but they are all beautiful. The sales lady was nice and recommended me a similar ring when the one I wanted was sold out in my size I honestly love it more than the one I chose originally. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a Claddagh ring

Picked out 2 beautiful rings and got terrific customer service.

Very small shop. They play a movie explaining the history of Claddagh Ring. It is a very romantic story. They have so many different styles of rings, you do not know which to pick.

Interesting a lot of stuff .informative tour well worth a visit

What a little gem of a museum. A great place to see a bit of local history.

Great place to visit - Clare is so enthusiastic about sharing local history

Pat gave me a personal tour and wow, there is a lot I didn't know about the village

Always worth a visit

Very nice place

(Translated by Google) Very interesting little museum. Lots of information on life and trades of the past in the small villages of Ireland. (Original) Très intéressant petit musée. Beaucoup d'info sur la vie et les métiers du passé dans les petits villages d'Irlande.

We recently got married at the Raheen Woods hotel and could not recommend it enough. We had the ceremony & reception here and our Day 2, as well as staying here for 3 nights along with lots of family - the rooms and food throughout our stay was top class! The food was outstanding, with many of our guests commenting on the quality. But the staff were what most of our guests spoke about - how they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, making us feel really looked after, particularly Oisin & Catherine - thank you! Raheen Woods Hotel made our wedding day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you’re looking for a venue that combines warmth and excellent service, we highly recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

To our delight our room was ready when we arrived. We checked in with Tracey, who was very welcoming and helpful. Room and bathroom modern and spacious. We enjoyed the pool very much, and it was great to see a lifeguard on duty poolside. We had a small enjoyable snack in the cosy bar that evening as we ate earlier in the town. My son enjoyed the arcade games. Good breakfast selection. Food was fresh and tasty. Overall the hotel, leisure centre and grounds were immaculate and extremely well maintained. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. The only downside was it a short stay as we heading elsewhere, but we will definitely return again for a few nights.

Lovely Hotel just outside Athenry. I've stayed here quite a few times. The room are spacious and airy. The food is always superb and I will always compliment the chef on the beef and their fish.. Honestly I give top marks every time for this Hotel. Really friendly staff..

Beautiful hotel. Spacious room, lovely setting. Easy check in. Friendly staff. Super clean, even the tv remote was in a plastic protector!! Used the leisure centre which was relaxing. Evening meal was gorgeous. Lovely spacious areas to sit and relax on all floors. Can not fault our stay.

The welcome was wonderful. The room was clean and adequate. The restaurant was very busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table. By the time we were there, they ran out of beef, pork and carbonara, which wasn't a problem for us. I had a stir fry and my husband had a chicken burger and fries. Both were very good. The restaurant was noisy, but I think it was because of the long weekend. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Beautiful hotel with plenty of entertainment for the younger set. Staff were terrific. Would have thought there would have been a bottle of water each in rooms as the two nights we were there were very very warm. Food was delicious and we will be back again

Beautiful hotel! The room was comfortable and clean, the staff was welcoming and very hospitable, and the food at the on-site restaurant was great. It is a bit isolated, but if you're staying for a night or two, it's absolutely perfect. Plus, many of the rooms have a balcony - a very nice touch!

Rooms are very clean, bathroom is great size, bed area is good. Closets and bag area is very small and no place to put your clothes. No safe. Fridge costs is not too bad. The King bed is not a King and at times it would separate in the middle. If you are staying in the front of the hotel, you can hear the cars and people coming out of the hotel. Not a problem for us but maybe for some people who needs quiet. The blackout shades helps when you are trying to sleep at 10pm and it's still light out. Very close to the central bus station and Eyre Square. I did expect a little more because it claims it's a 4 star but that maybe just on my end. I did like the mini spa, i wish the weather cooperated more so we could have more time to enjoy it. Elephant and Castle was good, breakfast staff and food is great at Sophie's. Overall, i enjoyed Dean Galway and can recommend it.

This hotel was great. The staff was phenomenal. David at the front desk and Johanna in housekeeping were terrific. We had some challenges and needed medical support; the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. The rooms are very small but a perfect for 1-2 nights in the city. The people make this hotel fantastic though!

I had such a wonderful stay at The Dean Galway and truly wish I could have stayed longer! From the moment I arrived, the staff at the front desk were incredibly kind and welcoming — their friendliness made all the difference and set the tone for a great visit. My room was spotless and stylish, with everything feeling fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell the hotel pays attention to the details, which made the stay all the more comfortable. Sophie’s, the rooftop restaurant, was another highlight — beautiful setting, great atmosphere, and delicious food. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring Galway. If you're looking for a modern, welcoming, and well-located place to stay in Galway, I can't recommend The Dean enough. I’ll definitely be back — next time for longer!

Beautiful and comfortable hotel. Charming rooms. The ability to go to a hot sauna, pool and a cold plunge was an added benefit. Dave working the front desk was incredibly helpful! He gave us a bunch of places to check out and each one was fantastic .

This hotel has everything you need to have a great Galway experience. The hotel is very modern and nice, and the staff is very welcoming. Only a couple minutes walk from the downtown Galway restaurants and bars, but far enough away to not be be bothered by the noise in crowds. Parking is a little bit of a challenge here and unless you are lucky to get one of the few spots out front, you have to walk several blocks to the parking garage.

Rooms were clean but impractical use of limited space. Room was in minor disrepair - window draft, scratches on walls, pooling of water in shower, sink slow to drain. The rooms are extremely loud, any sound in the hallway or neighbouring rooms is easy to hear. It was an interesting choice when work was being done early in the morning outside the guest rooms on a Saturday. Location is great.

Our stay at the dean was perfect! Loved the decor and ammenities and a convenient location. But really want to shout out Dave from the front desk, he was so helpful and attentive and he gave us all the best recs for our stay in Galway. We loved our time here! Thanks to the whole team

Highly recommend this fabulous retreat! The centre itself is modern, clean, comfortable, luxurious. The yoga studio is a great space and it brings the best out in everyone. We were very lucky to have expert yoga guidance from Grainne, and kind support from Alex. Both made the retreat feel like a safe, fun space to be in. The nature walks in the Burren were great. And the food was amazing. I'll definitely be going back!

I so thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Burren Yoga Retreat. It exceeded every expectation, and I would love to return to this beautiful place and enjoy the additional experience of the new spa building which is mid construction and anticipated to be completed next year. My yoga experience was truly wonderful and supportive. Individual instruction and support according need was easily, happily and graciously provided by Niamh, our most talented instructor. There’s no need to be concerned about your level of expertise or physical limitations. Each student is provided with opportunity to enjoy a wonderful yoga experience. The vegetarian food, a new and wonderful experience for me was first rate. It’s amazing what a talented chef can do! Our host George guided us through our day’s activities with charm and knowledge of the Burren. We had such great walking adventures with Niamh, George and our fellow students in this uniquely beautiful area. Such an interesting and enjoyable experience! Bravo, Burren Yoga Retreat Center for providing such first rate experience!

I give The Burren Yoga Retreat 5 stars. I have just returned home after a 3 day retreat. Don't hesitate to book if you are thinking of going. I walked surrounded by natural beauty, that is unique only to the burren. I was guided in breathwork classes by Eleanor our expert and kind teacher in the new state of the art studio. I ate the most wonderful vegetarian food by Claire. I was taken care of in sincerity and kindness by Joanne and David. I laughed out loud, connected with like minded people and left for home feeling refreshed again. Thanks to everyone involved in the center. It was perfect for me. Siobhan.

The Burren Yoga Retreat. A magical and beautiful place to stay. All the staff were amazing, helpful and very welcoming. The Yoga was excellent I enjoyed the breath work mediation and our sessions tailored to suit each individual. The food was delicious and the chef well I'd definitely give her 5 stars. David has created the perfect place for you to unwind, stretch and feel at home.

I can’t say enough about my stay at the Burren Retreat Center. The location was beautiful. We got to explore the area on our afternoon outings. The rooms and the retreat center was beautifully appointed in a very serene way. The vegetarian food was fabulous and I’m not vegan. George was a terrific guide and host , charming and fun. Niamh, the yoga teacher was wonderful, so knowledgeable and willing to give of her time to answer questions and impart her knowledge to us. All in all it was a fabulous experience and I would love to return and see the new expansion that is in process now.

This has been the most luxurious and beautiful retreat Centre I've been to in Ireland! The food is amazing, the retreat was exceptional, Margarida was my teacher.. i absolutely loved her , she truly embodies the practice and the dharma! She's a rare jewel in my opinion ! Dave is an incredible host , kind and generous beyond words, I had to cancel close to my first retreat , and tho he did not have to give me a credit , he did so with such an open heart ! Can't recommend The Burren Yoga Centre enough !!!!!

I had been to the Burren Yoga Retreat Centre on a number of occasions several years ago, before the new yoga studio, guest accommodation, and relaxation areas were built. I could not fault it then and I certainly could not find fault with any aspect of my recent retreat. It is a magical place for sure. Quiet understated luxury, delicious food, Atlantic swims in the pouring rain (optional), authentic yoga and meditation with Sylvia, and warm welcoming hosts combine to make this an experience that the heart and soul will not forget.... and then there is The Burren, ancient, magical and unique, and the hike through the hazel woods, and the Ring Fort, and the Cairn, and the picnic at the end of it all - a perfect day in a perfect week. This is a very special place but don't just take my word for it.....go!

Without a doubt, the treatments offered here are beyond exceptional. Marcia leads an amazing team. Aoife is so kind, caring and so knowledgeable. She talks me through my facial treatment and it is always tailored to what is best for my own skin. The redness had reduced significantly and I have the dewy glow that I've always wanted. Laoise is exceptional at spray tans, makes me feel so at ease and is a fabulous person. Her personality shines through. Overall thank you all so much, I look forward to my next visit.

I had a wonderful first experience this morning. From the minute I stepped in, Aoife had me at ease and was exceptional from start to finish. She has a wealth of knowledge and a lovely friendly and gentle approach. I would highly recommend and can't wait for my next appointment. 5 stars!

BEWARE OF CLAMPING - €120 fine My wife has been very pleased with the treatments at SeaBreeze to date. Unfortunately, on her last visit to SeaBreeze her car was clamped whilst parked in the Orantown Centre car park, directly outside of the SeaBreeze premises. There was no prior warning from the staff at SeaBreeze when she arrived for her treatment that day. Upon discussing what had happened with a member of the Seabreeze management team, there was no understanding what so ever for the delay and upset that the clamping caused, not to mention the fact she had to pay a €120 fine. The whole situation would have been completely avoided with prior notice from a staff member and it was made even worse, in this situation, by the lack of care or empathy from management.

Highly recommend Sea Breeze and particularly Rosita. I felt super relaxed and pampered. Fantastic full body signature massage, I will be back very soon!

Highly recommend Sea breeze skin clinic & microneedling. Aoife is excellent, very knowledgeable. There's been a huge improvement in my skin.

10/10 would 100% recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to try to improve their skincare routine or simply just feel good about themselves. All the workers in there are amazing.

My favourite facial so far. So relaxing I almost fell asleep. Thank you Emma as always 🤗

I completely lost track of time in this amazing place. It was the first time in a long while that I truly relaxed and I absolutely loved every moment of it! Even the staff made me laugh in the end! You're the best 😁I’m definitely coming back again. Stay awesome and never change ☺️

I had a wonderful experience with pressotherapy lymphatic pulse lift treatment in Salt Float and Recovery – it’s a deeply relaxing treatment. I had the 8 sessions offer, which was excellent value at €499. The take-home lymphatic kit is a gorgeous bonus! Nicola makes sure you’re completely comfortable, providing soft head rests, cooling fan, calm music and dimmed lights for a peaceful atmosphere.  60 minutes is the perfect amount of time for this treatment.The settings on the suit can be adjusted to accommodate each part of the body, which makes it feel very personalized. I’ve noticed a visible reduction in the appearance of cellulite, my legs feel lighter, and swelling in my ankles has improved. Nicola is incredibly accommodating with appointments and also provides excellent lifestyle and diet advice. I highly recommend her and this treatment!

I had such a wonderful experience at Salt, Float & Recovery back in May 2022 - I was booked in on my birthday for the full experience: contrast therapy (cold plunge pool and Finnish sauna), compression therapy as well as the Floatation therapy and I left feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was better than any spa day I have ever been on! The facilities were clean and modern and the customer service was incredible - such attention to detail! The experience is incredible and is something that I would be delighted to try again.

Had a great experience at Salt Float and Recovery Suite in Briarhill. We booked in for the compression massage and found it incredibly relaxing and effective — perfect for easing tired legs and improving circulation. The space is clean, welcoming, and really well set up for recovery. Staff were very friendly and professional, making the whole visit smooth and enjoyable.

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Nicola took her time explaining everything and made me feel very welcome and relaxed. The spa itself is extremely clean and afterwards you could go into the relaxation room and have a warm drink and water. I will definitely be returning.

SALT was amazing! The premises was sparkling clean, very homey and such relaxing vibes about it! No issues with parking as there are reserved spaces outside. The float itself was magical, I felt thoroughly comfortable after my chat with Nicola about how to work the cover lid of the float, where the light was within the float, what to do to calm my body while getting used to the float etc! I had a lot of tension in my shoulders from working from home at a make-shift desk but an hour in the float and I felt so much more relaxed and not hunched over! My skins felt amazing post-shower and I had to have a hemp tea in their relaxation suite which I never wanted to leave! My partner used the Sauna and the Normatec compression treatment for their sciatica and found it very good. We purchased a bundle of floats upon leaving as we agreed it was something that we could see really working as a monthly self-care treat! I also had some great advice with the range of products they sell and invested in some hemp tea bags and a bag of epsom salts! Cannot recommend them enough, thank you Nicola and Adrian for your lovely retreat away from the madness of the world!

A whole body and mind relaxing experience. The floatation tank was very relaxing and spotlessly clean and my partner tell me the cosmetics were top range. The lady that showed us around made us feel unrushed and comfortable and explained the whole process throughly. I certainly will be back for another session. I added 2 photos of the chill out room.

Had an incredible massage with Ayusha today. She took me on short notice on a Sunday and was so professional and welcoming — easily the friendliest masseuse I’ve ever met. The treatment was top class, from the cupping to the deep tissue work and finishing with the massage guns. I usually go to Robert’s but I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I had the best experience today with an hour massage. Robert was professional & friendly. Great location with parking outside. Highly recommend the cupping to help de-stress and relieve all the tension we carry in our back.

Very Happy with my Deep Tissue sports massage. Went into the massage with knots and aches in back, neck and forearms. Came out feeling refreshed and ready for another heavy week of training. Very professional and experience team under the roof of Phoenix Massage. Also giving me additional advice and stretches that I can use daily. You won’t regret a visit. Invest in yourself.

Had a very positive experience today at Phoenix Massage. Robert is a gentleman and provided best in class therapy for my upcoming marathon. Thanks again Robert!

Have been getting massages here for a few years now, and every experience has been so positive. Always super professional and always does a stellar job. Highly, highly recommend!

Went for a 1hr deep tissue massage. Was so happy I haven't had such good range of movement i my neck. Brilliant highly recommend

I have been to Phoenix massage a few times over the last year, getting massages from Robert and others and have always enjoyed them. Most recently, I got a sports massage from Ayusha and really enjoyed my experience. She had a thorough discussion with me in advance of the massage, asking where the issues were and what sports/excercise I was doing that would have caused this. She also took time after the massage to give me tips on changing my posture during certain movements that would result in better movement and less stress/pain. I have already recommended Phoenix massage to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so. Thanks so much!

I had an amazing relaxing massage with Giada. My tight shoulder area hasn’t been feeling so good for a long while. She is so experienced, empathetic and mindful. Thank you for the session. I would highly recommend her! 💛💙

I booked in for my first reflexology experience with Giada and it was a calming and insightful experience. I felt looked after and listened to during the initial consultation and the reflexology itself was cosy and comforting. I'm looking forward to working with Giada on my wellbeing through her treatments.

Giada is by far the best massage therapist l’ve ever been to in Ireland. Amazing attention to areas that need attention and very professional. It is the only massage that actually worked for my pain. She is excellent at what she does and make your feel very comfortable. A must try….

I went to Gianda for a massage with back problems and I got great relief from the massage. Gianda is a lovely kind and caring person. I would highly recommend her.

Very relaxing treatment and Giada was super helpful even recommending a different person who could help with the issues I was having. I did not feel under any pressure to book multiple appointment but was offered a discount package deal if I do decide to come again.

I had an excellent pregnancy massage with Giada. I'd recommend her to any expectant mum and I'll definitely be back!

Giada is brilliant, so knowledgable and considerate of your individual needs. She has a genuine care for her clients. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This castle is actually a aib bank. Missed it the first time I pass through it. At the entrance there are some posting of the history of the building and its family, but other than that, there is nothing much there to see. It is good to take a picture from the outside and that is about it.

If you walk by, it's worth taking a photo, but it is a bank now. There is no castle to tour. You only get to see the exterior.

We had a very good guide explaining with a lot of fun knowing the history. We just missed the event with Mel Gibson. It seems the movie Brave hart has scenes recorded in the castle.

Now a bank, once was a castle. Made in the 1600s. Still a lot of great stone work.

Such a shame this is now a branch of AIB, but at least it hasn't been knocked down or left in ruins. Admire it from the street, but not much to see beyond that.

It’s just an old building - but it’s nice. Better to do on weekdays when the bank is open so you can see the ceiling.

There is only an outer shell and one room on the inside of this building to see the history of the castle that once encompassed the whole city. I was quite disappointed but would definetly be interested in finding out the in-depth history on this castle, if there would be a place to tell me.

I go here from time to time and im usually pleased with it. But now i am so dissapointed about how small the portion sizes are! 12 euro for something i can eat in 3 bites! I dont understand why they made the portion sizes smaller but im honestly not happy with it. I could go somewhere else and spend 12 euro and ill definitely be full after eating. Not worth it. Dont come here

Coming into the place it smelled of stale grease but we put that aside and were welcomed and sat down. Ordered food. My partner and I both got the poached eggs. Mine tasted of vinegar and my partners which are pictured were undercooked. Did of course raise this directly with the restaurant rather than just complaining next time and was told they would have offered to cook it again. No discount was offered, was asked to pay full price for undercooked food. Won’t be back again and I cannot recommend anyone visit this establishment.

I came in today with my nephews and niece just for a quick icecream , when I got in there it was 30 minutes to closing I asked if it was OK they said yes. I got in the door they didn't even let me sit down before grilling me about my order I felt rushed and it was so rude. I sat down ordered and when the ice creams came I was extremely pissed off I hot 3 icecreams and 3 soft drinks and an apple juice , the drinks were lovely but I paid 19.90 for bad ice creams extremely disappointed and appalled at the food I received and some of the service you need to work on

It is with regret that I must report a disappointing experience. Firstly, several months (ca. 8 months) ago they provided me with a Wi-Fi access, which was OK. However, in the meantime, they changed the password few months (ca. three months) ago, which I observed already then, but I didn't require access to internet at that time. Today I required it and asked a waiter. The waiter firstly said she would provide me with it. Then she came back to me five minutes later saying that "They changed Wi-Fi password and that she doesn't know it"!?!????? What kind of childish irresponsible excuse is that? Either they provide or they do not provide access to Wi-Fi. If they provide it, then all waiters should know it and clearly present it on the receipt. So, I wasn't provided with the Wi-Fi Service and didn't receive any receipt. I think broader public should now know about it, so I am posting it as a feedback.

Lovely food, lovely customer service. Overall vibes of the café is great, I've been a couple of times. Nice and clean, very bright and inviting. Food tastes delicious too, I always go for Eggs Benedict

Very disappointed with the food and service. I ordered 2 portions of pouched eggs with avocado and the avocado was very brown, you could see from the colour that it was not fresh. The server came back and said there is no pouched eggs in the menu and then she decided to bring 1 portion of pouched eggs with avocado and the eggs were hard. The waitress didn't even apologise and she walked away, ignoring us. Never order again from them. I wouldn't recommend to anyone going there, you will be disappointed

Took ages to be seated, staff just standing around and not bothered. Got seated at a table which the server had said they would wipe it down straight away - she never did. Had to ask another server to come over and wipe our table. This server had a serious attitude. Disappointing experience.

We just had our massage today with my mom. It was so good. Highly recommended. I suggest to call beforehand so she can open the door for you.

Highly recommend getting a massage here! I was having pain in my left shoulder and got a deep tissue massage two weeks ago and went back for another yesterday as the results were amazing. The masseuse is lovely and makes you feel very comfortable. She took all the pain out of my shoulder and she is clearly very experienced as she was able to find other problem areas in my back from a previous injury that I had not mentioned. I went in the morning the first time and in the evening the second time and had a great sleep after both sessions. Excellent experience all round that leaves you very relaxed. Would definitely recommend getting the full hour session as the time passes quickly and it’s great value for money. Will be going back!

I have been going to Mary for a few years now and the experience is always great. I went back yesterday for the first time in a while and when I walked out, I was on cloud 9. She really did a great job. On my back. Thinking of visiting today again. See you soon Mary

My body was so sore from traveling, and Mary was able to schedule me same day for a one hour deep tissue massage. It’s not fancy by any means, but the massage was excellent—she stretches you out as well. Definitely recommend if you need some good muscle work in Galway!

I received a full body massage last week. It was amazing. I literally melted into the bed. I would high recommend.

I was in a good bit of pain in my upper back which I did get some relief from. Hot oils used during massage really eased the pain and after I was able to move more freely. Mary is very friendly and accomodating. Even though I called late in the evening I was still seen which I really appreciated because my back was quite sore. Thanks Mary ! See you again

Far from a professional massage! Avoid this place unless you're looking for 'other' services. I arrived 10 minutes early for a 1 hour deep tissue massage. It's in her apartment and she asked me to wait in a child's bedroom while she finished off her previous client. I should've just left at that point, and only realised a few minutes into the massage that she was not a masseuse and I made my excuses to leave. I am actually disgusted. This is what puts people off supporting genuine independent businesses in favour of established and genuine hotels and spas. Shame on you.

Lovely staff and facilities are great. Top marks!

Im enjoying the swimming pool and i found the membership price reasonable. However the cleanliness could be improved especially the floor in some places, the shower walls, and there's a smell possibly from the drain in the showers. Still better than your average Irish swimming pool but I still use flip flops. The water is a bit warm to my liking, I would be happy with 26°

Have been a member for 3 months, I look forward to my time spent in the Gym and pool. Love my classes, Zumba is the most fun. I have improved my flexibility and increased my range of motion. I'm just starting on my journey to fitness and looking forward to the journey. Club Vitae staff are so helpful, knowledgeable and always have a smile for me. We are very fortunate to have this amenity!

Very nice place for training, and good treatment from the staff

Great pool & gym. Staff are excellent, know their stuff and are very friendly. Beginners swimming lessons with Hanna are great.

The facilities at Club Vitae are top class and staff go above and beyond in what they do for their clients. Since moving to Galway I sampled lots of other gyms but none compared to Club Vitae for its amazing service. Well done to Hughie and all the staff 👍🏻🏋🏻‍♀️💪🏽👟🤸🏼🏊🏻‍♀️

Great gym with a good variety of equipment. Lovely pool, really relaxing space. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

Today I visited Chez Elaine and I had the treatment called Submentum which I found fantastic. I will have three more sessions. Looking forward to the end result. Elaine did the treatment for me. She is brilliant to talk to and she has all the answers to the questions. Great to speak to looking forward to my next appointment Thank you for your help and guidance always. Kathleen

I just had 2 treatments done at Chez Elaine. Elaine and the girls are incredibly professional and knowledgeable. The medical spa is spacious, relaxing and super clean. I couldn't recommend Chez Elaine highly enough. They are so accommodating! I am very excited to see my results over the coming weeks! Thanks to all the staff at Chez Elaine!

I have been to Chez Elaine a few times now and it has been a fantastic experience. I have been treated by Sarah and Kiera and the two women were extremely friendly. They explained my treatments to me so I understood what was happening at every step. I am very happy with my results. I highly recommend Chez Elaine to everyone.

I have been attending Chez Elaine for Lymphastim treatments and find them brilliant. My legs feel lighter, more toned and the skin look far fresher after. The salon is fab and the girls working there are super professional. Best beauty salon I’ve been to.

I make the short trip from Barna outside Galway city to go to Chez Elaine. I always have a fantastic experience. Elaine is the best brow specialist ever and she provides an excellent microblading service, which I have had many times. The brows are something that really makes a huge difference when done well. Sarah is fantastic in Chez Elaine also and is so lovely, always in good form and provides consistently great beauty treatments - pedicures, facials and waxing. The best thing about this salon is that they are first to market with high end, advanced beauty treatments like micro-needling, omnilux and more recently cutting edge treatments like Esmella. These are treatments that make a huge difference to women and it's great to be able to get them in a professional, reliable advanced treatment salon like this.

I always have such a lovely experience in Chez Elaine. Elaine & the girls are great, so good at what they do! They are always so friendly & professional. There is such a fantastic range of treatments, services & products available in the salon. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my HD Brows or my nails! Can't wait for my next visit :)

I had an appointment booked online for "eyelash extensions" which I assumed would be the eyelash extension service provided by most other reputable beauty salons. It was my first time using Chez Elaine and I was very excited to have my lashes done for an event I was attending. When I got to the salon, the lady at the till told me the service was most likely not what I thought it was as there had been confusion before with the service provided. It was advertised as "lash extensions" but what it did not clarify on the website was that it was for 3-4 day "party lashes". Although I had booked days in advance, there was no time taken to call me to explain this ahead of my appointment, although she said they had called others to explain. I was simply told that the website is confusing, and that I could have my 9euro deposit back, as if this was doing me a favour. Considering they knew it was most likely not the service I had expected I can't see how they saw it professional, or acceptable to wait until I came in for the appointment to explain this. Beauty salons, if staff are passionate and courteous should leave you feeling more confident, however, I walked out of Chez Elaine feeling ten times worse, with no time to schedule another appointment before the event I was attending.

I received a wonderful massage by Amy here today. Booking was made nice and easy by WhatsApp with time agreed. When I arrived the place was lovely and warm, which I was very grateful for as the weather outside was awful. The place is very clean and tidy with the room I was in also having two massage tables for couples. The massage itself was amazing. I felt so calm and relaxed afterwards. I didn’t have to ask her to adjust the pressure and Amy was also very easy to chat to as well. To sum things up I would highly recommend Amy for a massage. I’ll definitely be back again.

One of the best massages I've ever received! I came in 2 weeks ago with a migraine during a short visit to Galway, and left feeling better than I had in weeks! They responded fast and were able to see me on short notice. The space was simple but clean. If I lived in the area I'd be a repeat customer.

I came to Eva’s Beauty Room with my fussy and tired of using oils skin. Eva advised me to change skin routine and stop using oils for some period of time. She chose the right care products for me and I have to say that my skin started breathing again, then Eva suggested to provide the Gen factor acid treatment to give my skin a boost. After 4 treatments my skin looks brighter, moisturised, small scars and pores of the skin are clearly reduced . I am very happy with the results !!! Absolutely I’m recommended, Eva so knowledgeable and friendly whether you are looking for help with specific skin concerns or relaxing experience …. She is also a Great makeup Artist 💄💋

Absolutely amazing and one of a kind experience! I go to Eva for eyebrows and skin care , each and every single time she shows her extensive knowledge , she takes her time for every treatment and explains everything in great detail. I don't live in Galway but I 100% prefer to take a day off and travel to her because I'm always confident i won't be disappointed. Like no other salon Eva actually cares about the results of her treatments and this is something that i really value. I cannot recommend her enough!!!! Thank you so much Eva!

I recently had a 2hr one to one make up lesson with Eva,it was a beautiful experience from start to finish .I rarely wear makeup and received this as a gift . I learned so much and it has given me confidence to experiment more . The salon was very relaxing and Eva was so professional. I would definitely recommend the lessons...and a great idea for a Christmas gift

Amazing. Eva did my makeup for a wedding last Saturday and did a fantastic job. My makeup did not budge all night and still looked fresh at 4am!!! Eva was lovely to deal with and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for occassion make up. Thank you Eva.

Eva is very professional, she knows how to treat your skin very well, she will advise you what you need and what treatment is best for your skin. I Have been going to Eva for while and even brought my teen-age daughter for facial. There's always a very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. I recommend Eva's Beauty Room to everybody who wants have experienced professional treat your skin and body.

I have been visiting Eva Beauty Room for many years. Eva is absolutely brilliant, really understands skincare, whatever your age! She listens and will recommend the treatments and products that will actually make a visible difference to your individual skin type and challenges. My secret to young glowing skin is microneedling treatment by Eva and Vit C facial. Love it!

Eva is an absolute pleasure, her knowledge of skin care is out standing. Always on hand to give excellent advice I would recommend her to anyone with dry sensitive skin like me. 100% Profesional.

Room very comfortable and clean. Beautiful hotel and staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Self service breakfast was one of the best and had such a good variety. Would highly recommend the valentine's dinner. Attention to detail was great and a lovely atmosphere.

Great food, nice rooms. Friendly staff.

Very comfortable room. Staff were lovely. Unfortunately due to covid regulations its difficult to completely relax anywhere. Breakfast not great..

Very nice experience I would prefer the pool over the gym but all in all very good.

Fabulous hotel. Great food. Lovely staff.

Lovely 4 star in the little town of Ballinasloe Great hotel with fabulous Spa and gym Large bedroom very clean and great decor Very friendly snd efficient staff serving lovely food Great for weddings or other events Huge pool available On arrival at the hotel my friends and I were greeted by a wonderful Waitress by the name of Mary she was very friendly polite and informative she guide us through to the different options available to us If you ever visit this hotel please try the homemade chicken Wings Thai curry option with chicken, prawns or Beef I will be back in Ireland soon so will definitely visit again maybe for Afternoon Tea Again thanks for a great experience with my friends for a special occasion Mary you are a star and great example of fantastic customers service

Nice and polite staff. Service is great never have to wait long. Everything is neat and tidy.

Exceptional taste, craft and service! Requested a frog themed cake for my daughter’s birthday and we sent a sample picture. Today at collection, the cake looked better than the sample picture that we sent. My daughter was delighted to say the least! And to top it all, the cake was one of the best that we have tasted. For someone who just tastes birthday cakes for the sake of it, I am on my 4th slice of this cake now. Not heavy; and delicious with the right mix of fresh fruits. This is one hidden gem in Barna. We will be back for more! Thank you Aisling ! Sonia Thomas

UPDATED REVIEW!!! Bought my sons birthday cake here. Exactly what I wanted and my son was delighted with it. Thank you so much again. Can't wait to see my daughters christening Cake 😍 Just picked up the christening cakes. They went above and beyond all expectations. Give the chef a concept and they run with it. Absolutely perfect 😍😍😍

I ordered a cake for my son's Christening and showed them a photo of how i wanted the cake to look like (the one with "Jude" on it). Im not really expecting an exact replica, just to show the classy looking cake that i want to have. This was the cake i got (the one with "Lucas" on it). I was utterly disappointed and would so desperately rather not get the cake if not for having it collected the morning of my son's Christening. Looks like it was done in a rush (despite placing the order 12th sept.) Letters in disarray, lace stencil unequal, for some reason faded on some parts. Rosary beads uneven. Overall, it was very cheap looking. I am very dismayed. Wont recommend this place.

I was passing through Bearna whilst on holiday and I needed a snack. I found this place by chance, and I'm glad that I dropped in. What a classy bakery. The shop looks lovely, and the two items I bought were both very good. The staff are nice too, especially the girl from Argentina (Buenos Aires, I think). I asked her about South America and she gave me some advice about where to stay in Brasil.

Delightful little place (part of The Twelve Hotel) for coffee, chocolate, locally made cake, eggs, wine, Voya products and various deli items in glass jars. Small seating area by the window. Low volume, chilled music, friendly staff.

While I was there I just had to taste the cakes, surprised there was not any dog cakes / treats to buy. If there was I didn’t see any :( Shop is small. But It’s great you can have a wonder around with the pooch too. Staff is lovely and friendly cakes are decent but not amazing. Found the eclair a bit to hard for my likings and not enough cream. Average.

Martha in the Bakery is an absolute dote, she is very friendly. the coffee is fab the victoria sponge cakes OMG the nicest i have ever tasted. and the brown bread is fab. i cannot fault anything they sell.

Very professional and friendly. Vicky asked me straight away if the pressure is ok and i should let her know if i'm cold, which is very important i think. Got a really, really good massage and the ambience is amazing! Beautiful , relaxing music as well. In the end, Vicky gave me some exercises to do, to get my neck a bit more loosened up. I would definitely recommend this lady!

Vicky was recommended by a friend and she is top quality massage therapist. Following all the Covid rules and regulations. The place is spotless. The massage was amazing and is well worth the time and the money. I'd highly recommend it.

Amazing service, so friendly and professional. Extremely knowledgeable about the body and massage. I always feel wonderful after a massage with Vicky

Very professional and amazing therapist. We knew on which parts to focus the most according to my previous problem with herniated disc. I felt so much relief. High and positive energy. Useful information during the session. I will be back for the therapy. I am very satisfied. Thank you Vicky 🥰💙💫

Love this massage place and highly recommend Vicky. She is one of the best and knows what she is doing. She is also a lovely person.

I got a back massage here while visiting galway recently, it was unbelievable, my back feels so much better after it.

I had a wonderful massage today with Vicky and would highly recommend it

I always see Sucha for all aches and pains. I've been to a few thai places since moving over 4 years ago... no one compares. I also personally recommend my clients to Rhum Po as well. You won't find a better Thai massage therapist!?

Just WOW! I went in like a crunched up pack of tayto! And now I’m just floating 🙏🏼 A years worth of creaks, aches pains and tension gone! I have already booked in for my next appointment. Glad I found you! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sucha is an excellent therapist and so warm and welcoming as well as intuitive. I always feel so much better after a massage with her

I went there with back muscle spasms and they helped me a lot. I can highly recommend them. I'm very satisfied from massage and atmosphere.

They are really professional. Will recommend x

Sucha is amazing highly recommend her

Recommend they are absolutely wonderful massage

Great recommendation. The head, neck, hand, back massage by Emma was just what I needed. Good intensity and very professional. Thanks!

I love the treatment rooms! From a FANTASTIC makeup application to nails to massages this place has it all. Everyone there is super professional and warm (and the location is amazing — converted buildings at Abbeyglen). You’ll be happy you make appointments to treat yourself!

Cute location and atmosphere. I had the back massage and my partner a facial and both were 10/10. The staff were very professional and just good at their jobs, would definitely go back. Location wise, it's actually at the abbyglen hotel nearer to town, the listing had it slightly wrong for us.

I have had a number of treatments done here from pedicures,manicures, tanning , make up and massage and I could not speak more highly of It. Each treatment was done to perfection and I left feeling so relaxed and de-stressed. The lady running the place Marylouise was so professional and lovely to deal with. The cleanliness was top class also. 5 star experience 👍

Marylouise is brilliant! A huge thank you for a fantastic hot stone massage. If I didn't live 3 hours drive away I'd be back right away, highly recommend, thanks a million💞🏰

The highlight of a visit to Clifden . Gillian and Laura looked after us so well . We so enjoyed our Elemis facials in relaxing and comfortable surroundings . Thank you ladies .

Mary Louise really is excellent! Would recommend a massage with her 110%!!!! The treatment rooms is really love, a hidden gem!

I can't recommend highly enough. Totally transformed my life
